- Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel.
My name is Thomas, if you're brand new
and I make style and hair related videos every single week.
And Merry Nipsmas to you. (snort laughs)
What a way to open. In today's video,
we're going to be doing a bit of playing with our hair.
So for while now I've had you guys asking me to do
actual tutorials or do more things with my hair on camera,
so that's what I'm giving you.
Today, we're doing the dragon braid
and the dragon braid is a really simple braid
that pretty much anyone can do.
All you got to do is be able to section your hair
a little bit and then the rest is easy.
There's no intertwining or anything
and it gives the hair a real fancy sort of look.
So we're going to do that today.
I've played around with this hairstyle a couple of times,
I'm not like a master at it,
but I wanted to do it on camera for you today
because it doesn't matter how much attention to detail
I usually put into this hairstyle,
it always ends up looking really cool.
So we're going to do it now.
(air whooshing)
All right, so we're going to start off with sectioning,
you might want to get a tail end comb,
they're really good for sectioning,
even if you're shit at sectioning, like me. (laughs)
I don't make sectioning perfect, like ever.
I just make sure I grab the rough spot that I want
and Bob's your uncle, it seems to work out for me.
Particularly with straightening as well,
although, when you're straightening your hair,
sectioning is pretty important.
However, I still manage to get by. (snort laughs)
So I'm just going to roughly section out
a piece of my hair, like this.
Now that is terrible sectioning, we're not doing that.
Bit of a tough section there, but we got there.
And then, what I've done is I've gone
and bought a heap of these elastics.
So I'm going to be using the black ones today
because my hair is dark. If you're blond,
you might want to use the clear ones. (sighs)
There's our first section, then we want to go
and get the second section.
Again, going back the practical side of me.
I like to always think of, how can I achieve
something really cool without it being really difficult?
And this is like another one of those things.
So I look a bit funny right now.
So step one is just getting your first two sections
sorted out, so I've got these here like that.
Now what's going to happen, is this front section
is going to divide into two and then wrap around
the second section and feed into the next section
that I'm going to create on the back of my head.
Let's go forward with that.
We're going to flip this one forward,
It's very tricky when you're filming and trying to do this.
Elastic band time, third section.
Third section is made up of its own hair,
plus the two from the front.
Then we're going to repeat the process
and divide this into two
and wrap it around the third section and so on, okay?
Okay, divide him into two
go around the back,
flip this guy forward, grab your next section.
So this is now what we're looking like from the back.
You can see it's a very like... sort of braid shape.
It doesn't actually look like a full on, legit braid.
It looks like some sort of brioche or baked good.
So from here, at the back,
I'm actually just going to group all my hair
and we tie it up. Yeah, that's the shit.
Right, now we're going to wrap it around.
She's in, cool. Look at that.
And there we go guys, so now my hair is
officially looking like a baked good.
I'm just going to give you a little 360 of that right there.
What I really love about it, is all of this in here,
it looks really interesting, yet it was so easy to do.
It probably took me about 10 minutes in total,
with sectioning and then also, just getting the back right.
But once you get it right,
it can be another one of those every day hairstyles
that you just have. Meaning to look good on the fly,
if you've got a spare 10 minutes in the morning.
If you have tried this dragon braid before,
please let me know in the comments.
Let me know what you thought of this as well.
If you haven't seen this hairstyle before
and you end up trying it, share it in the Facebook group,
which you can find in the description box as well.
I'm really keen to see how you guys get inspired
from stuff like this and yeah,
I'm always just looking for inspo on the feed.
So be my guest. That's all I have for you this week.
Please make sure you hit the thumbs up button.
And I'll see you next week for another video.
Catch you later. (roars) Bye.
